Ships - Part 1

Class 239 – Hovercraft

China 680 has Survivability 255, all others have 6.
Italy 237 has Vision 20, all others have 0. Possible, but when even the USMC doesn’t have it?
USA 186 is unarmed. Its USMC equivalent (also 186) has 2 m/g, as do Japan 290 & S.Korea 187. They do not appear to have different formational uses. USA 186 also has Crew 4, others have 8.


Classes 43, 46, 198 & 199 – LCS, LCG, Torpedo Boat, Patrol Boat.

Not worth going there, too much national variation.


Class 197 – Rivercraft

Generally as 198 & 199, but there are a couple of named craft here, which I presume are built to a formula, to whit the Zodiac and the Rigid Raider. It seems there were 2 basic marks of Rigid Raider, one with a capacity of 8 and the other with capacity of 20.

Rigid Raider – Italy 250 has Size 1, all others 2.
UK 251 & Australia 344 are the only 2 with armour.
Other stats are pretty evenly split, so will leave alone.

Zodiac – all have Swim Speed 6 except Netherlands 274, which has 7.
Argentina 240 has Lift Capacity 110, others have either 13 or 113.


Class 42 – Assault Boat (Always Unit 246)

Netherlands is the only Size 2, others Size 1.
USMC, Ethiopia & Somalia have Radio% 90, others 0.
S.Africa has Load Cost 0, all others 1.
